Nice Work, Hans!
I'm curious if there are any pictures of the casebacks on those Geneve Dynamic Models with the caliber 560.
I've come across a couple of cal. 560's in case reference number 14470, which I think is the predecessor to 166.0020. These all seem to date from around 1961-62, with the 2 adjustments. I have some pictures which are too large to publish here. Please send me a PM or e-mail and I can provide them.
Excellent research, and I learned that my watch is in fact the KL6312"H" with the GF engraving on the inside of teh caseback:
Thanks again,
gatorcpa

Thanks gatorcpa
Hi gatorcpa Also thanks to your comment here, and previosly as well during my research. Thankyou for sharing your picture on a really nice dial. I originally wanted to postpone this post to include the case back of the Dynamic (need to take a decent pictu...
I'm astounded by the clear caseback variation, even if it . . .
. . . wasn't commercially available . . . perhaps it was a demonstrator model for dealers. Thanks so much, Hans . . . very much appreciated! Cordially, Art
Thankyou Art
According to Desmonds article, it could be a salesman type / demonstration type (it most probably is, as the water tightness does not exist with the clear back, hence the corroded dial). However I confronted the Omega Museum with the question, but they di...
Very interesting post, Hans!
Wow, my friend, that's a superb post! for those, like me, who don't really know this topic, and certainly fro all the others, it is a rerally useful work. Thanks a lot! Best, Nicolas
Thanks my friend :-)
Hello my friend It is a nice topic, and one of the more unkown. The official information that exist is very limited. So the digging and exchanging information is the fun part. Well, back to the mounting of the parabolic disc on my summerhouse. And tonight...
Doing your homework is really pleasant, indeed.
But you're teasing me right now... I see 2 brands you could go for: Rolex and JLC... Am I right? Which one? Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2009-12-29 00:09:39
thanks Hans, lots of information that is not available at the touch of a button
i didnt intend to put you under pressure , but you can add the dynamic caseback at a later date. one thing we'll probably never be able to get is numbers cased in CH and in which cases. my understanding is that the VAST majority of movements went uncased ...
Thankyou Mr Pressure
.... No worries. I also need to dig a little more into the steelvariants. I am not sure if they are more rare than the others. I believe they are all rare. But for sure the majority went uncased to US. I am collecting figures for my own statistic on what ...
